So I've been asked to do some 1812 stuff this weekend with the Free Men of the Sea. They, like many others, are putting together 1812 kit for the upcoming anniversary events. Jacket, shirt, overalls and shoes I have. My cutlass hilt will change easily. But I need a hat. Any suggestions what is the best hat for a Napoleonic period privateer that can be made in 4 days?

Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl

I do what I do for my own reasons.

I do not require anyone to follow me.

I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs.

if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.
